So as i've said, i'm translating "A la table du Grand Turc" - i now
have 3 pages let to go!!! then i have to type it in to a computer and
refine the translation.
One of these refinements involves replacing the French word "ragout"
(circumflex over the "u") with an English word. Most often the word
would be "stew" but i wonder if there's another word that would carry
less baggage, at least here in the US.
I translated the book by hand into a note book - i just translated on
the run, so to speak, and i left a few words or expressions in French
rather than stop to ponder various synonyms or modern English idioms
- so now i have to go back and switch them out, which will be easy on
a computer.
Anyway, suggestions for "ragout" other than "stew"?
Thanks,
